Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has expressed his opinion over Juan Mata’s move from Chelsea to Manchester United. He deems the whole transfer issue typical of The Blue’s tactics especially because Chelsea have played Manchester United twice and have to face other rivals including the Gunners.

“I am surprised because Juan Mata is a great player and Chelsea sell a great player to a direct opponent. It opens again a little bit the opportunity of this

transfer market because Chelsea had already played twice against Man United so they don’t play again. They could have sold him last week but it opens at least the opportunity [to question] the dates of this transfer window.

Some teams have already played twice against one opponent and some others not. I think if you want to respect the fairness for everybody exactly the same, that should not happen. I just think you would want that everybody is on the same level. Chelsea do not make the rules but maybe the rules should be a bit more adapted to more fairness.”
